Of course, you'll find earlier references to the idea - and illustrations, too, if you want. Take a look at the air-tight dress (where "dress" refers to "manner of dress" or clothing) from The Conquest of Mars (1898) by Garrett P. Serviss.

SF writers had lots of fun with the design of space suits over the years; take a look at the cylinder space suit from Island in the Sky (1952) by Arthur C. Clarke, the space bubble from The Planet Strappers (1961) by Raymond Z. Gallun and the Osprey space armor from Salvage in Space (1933) by Jack Williamson.

Winchell Chung has loads of pictures of science fictional and real space suits over at Atomic Rockets - see Spacesuits.
